Section 3 Message

At the end of the day, the troupe camped in a village.

This is a common small village, and Chrissy has no intention of wasting time performing in such a place, but only gets a few houses from the villagers to live in temporarily. Half of the team members live in the villagers' houses, and the other half live in the team's carts. After a tiring day, soon all of them fell asleep.

Ashrufat left the convoy alone and went out into the wilderness outside the village. He didn't need sleep anymore anyway, and the night was just the right time to practice magic.

But let's be honest, practicing magic is definitely not fun, because every time you catch the wind of magic, it feels like forcibly swallowing a jar of rancid grease. It had been since the first time he had touched the wind of magic, and even more so now.

"Master, you have to stick with it. Carrie realized Eshurufat's disgust and reminded in her head. "Mastering the winds of magic will greatly increase your strength. ”

"Didn't you say last time that there are also methods of attack and defense in black magic? Why don't you just practice black magic? Anyway, ordinary people don't understand the difference between the two. ”

"But if you engage in magic warfare, the enemy mage will understand that you are using dark magic. And your real enemies are able to perceive the presence of black magic. Once you alarm them, your situation becomes dangerous. Carrie explained.

"Enemy, you've never mentioned anything. Who is my enemy?"

"It's the man behind the murder of Kotoshin-sama. I can't tell you about them, though, because Kotoshin-sama doesn't want you to avenge her. They're powerful, they're full-fledged, and they're too powerful to be fought by you alone. As long as you're magically locked by those guys, you're in for a treat. So you have to hide it. ”

Carlean ...... It was wiped out by the Coalition of the Seven Nations. According to rumors, it was just a human war against vampires...... Is there another reason behind it?

Forget it, let's keep practicing these disgusting and disgusting magic.

"Also, master, I think this troupe is very meaningful to you. I think you should stay a little longer. ”

"What's the special significance?"

"Remember, a certain nobleman invited them to perform. Take this opportunity to learn about the rumors among the nobility. ”

Rumors of the nobility?Eshurufat's heart moved. Since leaving St. Jean, he had thought that rumors about vampires would spread immediately, but in fact they had been quiet and there was no news about vampires at all. The only vague rumor is a vague mention of the multiple assassinations at St. Jean, and the assassination of more than one nobleman of St. Jean. Such a calm makes people feel vaguely uneasy.

Maybe the rumors about themselves were forcibly suppressed. However, all the rumors that Eshurufat could hear at the moment were folk rumors among the tavern and tea clubs, and I don't know what kind of news was spreading among the upper echelons of the Dao Society. Carrie has a point, if you can use this opportunity to inquire about the rumors among the nobles, it is also a very good choice.

Thinking of the troupe, Ashruphat suddenly remembered the events of the day, the impulse that suddenly came up.

"Carrie, I remember you saying that I don't really need to suck blood......! That impulse?"

"I don't know much about the details. But Kotoshin-sama said that it may be a psychological mutation caused by physical changes. You can understand that it is a psychological need, not that your body really needs to drink blood. I suggest you try drinking animal blood, or drink something that looks like blood, and see if it works. ”

"I know the truth"

......

The invitation wasn't fake. When the Summer Night's Dream arrived at their destination, a city called the Shire, they were warmly welcomed by a noble butler and placed to live in a rather elaborate manor on the outskirts of the city. At dinner, the dedicated butler personally entertained several important members of the team. Right at the wine table, Captain Chrissy got a very satisfactory result. Her troupe would perform for free in the city for three days, all at the lord's expense. The butler also promised that if the performance of "A Dream of a Summer Night" was satisfactory, he would provide a letter of introduction that would allow the troupe to attend the upcoming large-scale festival in the city of Oren.

"Oren?" Hearing the word, Chrissy's eyes lit up. Everyone knows what the city of Oren is, it is the holy city of the Church of the True God! To be qualified to perform there, the fame of the "Summer Night's Dream" troupe will spread throughout the continent, and all the dignitaries will rush to it.

"Yes. I was once asked by a friend in Ornse to find some highly skilled performers, such as circus, cabaret and the like, to go there and cheer up the festival. The butler explained. "At festivals, of course, the more such people, the better. ”

"It's really good. Chrissy was overjoyed. The lord's offer had already made her very satisfied, and the promise of this vision made her feel that the future was full of light.

"Mr. Butler. Ashrufat asked softly while the butler was drunk, and he was considered a knight-apprentice, so he also accompanied Chrissy to dinner). "Have you had any interesting news lately?"

"Message?"

"The main thing is that I need some rumors to supplement my inspiration, and I'm recently preparing to write a script. Ashruphat whispered in the butler's ear, and at this time the head of Chrissy was intoxicated with the beautiful vision of the future, and did not hear him at all. Of course, even if you hear it, you don't care. As for the others, they had already attracted all the attention of the food and wine, and would not have paid any attention to Ashrufat's whispers.

"A script...... Well, what kind of script?" asked the butler casually.

"One...... A script about legends and myths. Ashrufat said. "Are there any more mysterious rumors, such as the presence of some monster somewhere, or the rumor that a brave knight has defeated an evil monster. ”

"This ...... I'm reminded of a legend I've heard lately," replied the butler, after a moment's thought. "A legend about vampires. ”

Ashrufat's heart was shocked, but his face remained silent. "Can you tell us a little bit about that? ”

"I don't know much about the specifics, but I've heard that there are vampires in the southern region of West Vania. The butler struggled to remember. "And the situation is serious, I heard that a certain vampire provoked a war and led an undead legion to attack the local lord. Of course, this is just a legend. ”

"That's a good story, but are there any other vampire rumors?"

"No more. The butler shook his head. "After the fall of Callean, there were very few stories of vampires. ”

"So there were a lot of vampire stories before the Kalian War began?" said Aerufat, aware of the loophole in his words.

"Of course, if it weren't for the vampires and their minions wreaking havoc and killing innocents, how could this war have started. The butler replied, sighing at the same time. "The Marquis sent a number of his knights to war, and nearly half of them were killed by vampires, including two of my best friends. ”

"Master, it's just their means. Kotoshin never sent his men out of Kalean, they deliberately created this kind of thing to stir up the anger of the masses and start the war. In her mind, Carrie said with some anger.

At this time, the head of Chrissy raised his glass and toasted the butler, temporarily interrupting Ashrufat's conversation. But there's enough information to be gained from this conversation.

"Carrie, don't you hear that. There is vampire activity in the South, do you think this news is reliable?" Ashrufat asked Carrie in his mind.

"I don't know, but it's possible. When you have time, you can look into the matter. However, since there is no vampire legend about St. Jean, it means that someone has suppressed all the secrets. You don't have to worry about freedom of movement. ”

At the end of the feast, Ashrufat helped Chrissy to his room. Captain Chrissy was intoxicated with a beautiful future today, and drank too much in extreme excitement, so drunk that she couldn't even walk. The rest of the people were also drunk and staggered, and as a result, Ashrufat had to take charge of sending the regimental commander back.

"Fantastic...... You see, Ashrufat...... The future of my troupe is bright, isn't it......" Chrissy said drunk. "When the time comes...... I'm going to buy a theater in a big city...... Become a celebrity...... You can even become a noble......"

"Yes, Captain. Ashrufat held the other with one hand and opened the door with the other. Put Chrissy on the bed, then lock the door and leave the room, and his mission is over. The housekeeper's words are important, but it's best to find someone else to testify. A figure who can talk freely with himself in terms of identity, but has the opportunity to hear rumors among nobles. Horseman? No...... By the way, today the butler introduced a marquis's personal attendant. He may have known some rumors......

Ashrufat thought about his thoughts as he put the regimental commander on the bed. When he wanted to let go, the other party suddenly grabbed him with his backhand, and then, his arms wrapped around his neck like a snake.

"Come, hug me. Chrissy's hands clung to Ashrufat, and she was so drunk.

Ashrufat's body stiffened.

"Why, don't you dare?" Chrissy let out a debauched laugh. "Don't worry, I won't let you be responsible. She grabbed one of Eshurufat's hands and forced it into her bodice, pressing it directly against the two plump, elastic masses of flesh.

"I'm soaking wet. She chuckled and whispered.

There was a strange noise behind him. Ashrufat turned his head vigilantly and saw that it was Xiangye. The girl's eyes widened, her hands over her mouth, and she looked at Ashrufat and Chrissy in disbelief.
